Sun takes the wraps off of Solaris 10

"Sun has also reaffirmed its commitment to release the source code for Solaris 10 some time after the OS ships, as they announced in June of this year. By opening up the codebase for the OS, Sun hopes to spur interest in Solaris (and SPARC) which has flagged with the rise in popularity of Linux + 64-bit x86 CPUs. Having access to the source code will likely help developers, who will now be able to take advantage of some features of the OS that were previously unavailable to them."Story
